Its been a drugstore purchase type of week.
It Guardian Pomegranate Body butter
It smells like heavenly strawberry yogurt, I would not be surprised if someone tried to eat this, my rabbit even tries to nibble at my feet when I slather this on.
Apple Cider Vinegar
I think I'll do an individual posting for this, because this stuff is amazing. It literally cures everything, I don't know how but it works like crazy and it tastes like hell.
Himalaya Dandruff shampoo
I have only tried this once and the smell is not turning me on
The Body Shop facial buffer
I was purchasing body shop exfoliating gloves for a friend and I saw this and I was like, well the gloves are freaking awesome....so this must be great too. I bought this yesterday and tried it last nice. My face felt so clean, it says on the package to lather it up with facial wash or soap, I just used straight up water. Seriously, I am as anti facial wash as they come. But it worked, I woke up with glowing skin, but that could be for other factors.
Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil
Okay, I'm really excited about this. I know oil on oily skin I have a crazy oily face with 1/5 of it being insanely dry, but I've been meaning to buy this or straight up Vitamin E oil because I was getting sick of my blemishes that just wouldn't go away. Like I would get a 1 day pimple that leaves a scar that lasts for weeks, I don't even pick at my acne. Hopefully this will help with my facial scars and pockmarks. I tried this last night at my skin felt so supple and I'm not really sure if its the facial buffer or this stuff that gave me a fresh face when I woke up. I think it may have been a combo of the 2, but I'm gonna guess its the therapy oil.
More reviews to come :)

March Madness sales!
I haven't really been outside of my pajamas since I got my new rabbit on my birthday, so I went out last weekend on the 20th and 21st, and wow, there were so many crazy sales going on, seriously I did not know what I was missing. On Saturday, I went to Megamall with my boyfriend and a friend, I never go to Megamall, probably the last time I went to Megamall was last year around this time. The last time I actually bought anything from Megamall was 4 years ago? I just never find anything there, thus I refuse to go there, because of my limited shopping options. Once again, I didn't really find anything for me, but I did find some stuff for my rabbit, since they have a big pet store upstairs. I got Hartz gourmet rabbit food, yeah I'm already spoiling him. I also got him an igloo house thing so he can hide in, however he only goes in if there's food. I spent the whole time at megamall worrying about my bunny.
On Sunday I walked around the Bukit Bintang area (my favorite area to shop). Went to Sungeiwang, walked around, my boyfriend bought some tshirts and I just went to the Japanese 5rm shop. I love that store its called Daiso, everything, I mean everything is only 5 bucks, and its a pretty decent size store too. I'll do a more detailed review on it later.
We then walked to Pavilion, in the rain. And there were sales, sadly it was 9:00 pm, so I couldn't really check everything out. The first place I went to was Forever21, no big sale. Disappointing, but I like walking around that store. And next door to Forever21 is Cotton On, I'm not sure how popular it is, but its pretty nice and has decent sales, which is why I'm really excited to tell you what I bought from there.
Its a Pink fluffy robe which use to cost RM169.00 and I bought it for only RM49, okay, I didn't buy it, my boyfriend bought it for me because I've been admiring this robe since I first discovered there was a Cotton On. Its so warm and fluffy and feels like my bunny NumNum, amazing. Its knee length and absolute perfection wrapped around my body, my only issue with it is the fact that it doesn't have pockets. I have another robe, but its more of a bath robe, its made out of towel material, but it does have pockets and I guess I'm just use to that.
I've been needing something like this because my computer is directly underneath the air conditioner, so I get freaking cold, especially the top of my head. But luckily this robe has a hoodie, I love anything with a hoodie. The pink is so loud and vibrant, but not to worry, there were other colors too at the Cotton On branch in Pavilion, besides pink, there was white, yellow and blue.
The funny thing is, my boyfriend has worn it more than I have. He's now declared it OUR robe, even though I've told him repeatedly that it's pink and MINE. His computer is also in the direct line of the air conditioner, maybe farther away but it still hits him. So I'll catch him wearing it randomly while his playing on his computer. He's still manly of course...it just that no one can deny the yumminess of this robe.

Vincci Vs. Nose
The two shoe shops that are everywhere in Malaysia and I mean everywhere. I bet they heavily compete with each other trying to sell the newest trends. They're both around the same price range of 25+(except when they're on sale). They both are usually located in the same mall. They both have the same quality of shoes, not great but not cheapo. But at the end of the day, who's better?
The first non-sneaker I've ever bought was from Vinnci and they literally killed my feet. Seriously I could barely walk in them, that and they broke really quickly. But I don't blame Vincci, I was a sneaker girl and I assumed all shoes were comfortable. Nope, they're not. I continued to buy more and more shoes, each one breaking within 6 months. And I mean straps tearing, tips of the heel coming off so it makes that horrible nail scratching sound, horrifying, just horrifying. I wish they both provided a service to replace them, but I highly doubt that.
Here's my opinion, when it comes to jumping on the lastest fashion trend and having a wider range of shoes, Vincci definitely wins by far. But for some reason, during uni I got most of my shoes from Nose. They don't have the super fancy shoes like Vincci, nor do they have a wide range of work shoes. But they do have great casual shoes that fit my feet (I have very wide feet) and don't break as often(yes, they still break, but they're cheap). I think I also like the atmosphere in most Nose shops, its because Vincci gets really crowded and the shop is so big a white, but Nose is smaller and not as busy.
I find it funny that when one of them is having a sale the other one is also having a similar sale. They must be super competitive. I also find it funny when they have identical shoes, the same gladiator sandals and black pvc plastic pumps. I think Nose has better sales, granted, when they're having their sales they do put out some really ugly shoes, but I find that Nose has more variety of 50% off shoes than Vincci, especially flats and sandals.
Strangely enough, as of lately I've been buying a lot more Vincci shoes. I love wedges and Vincci seemed to cater towards my current tastes. Nose just isn't in the game anymore, they definitely need to step it up. My least favorite branch of Vincci is KLCC, even though I go in there every time I go to KLCC, just because you know its Vincci. I find that during sales, its sooooooooo crowded and you have to beg for attention. There's no such thing as trying without buying, you feel horrible to try something and then they give you this look like, "you're going to buy that right?" and you kinda get guilted into buying it because they're so busy and they just don't have time for the likes of you. Okay, maybe I'm being overly dramatic, I'm definitely being overly dramatic, I just don't like feeling guilty for not buying something, that just makes me not want to enter the shop. Shopping is a good feeling, retail therapy is my friend.
The best branches of both of them are in Sungeiwong, okay the Vincci one in Sungeiwong is horrible but it has a larger selection of shoes on sale, if you can't find the shoes you're looking for in KLCC, go there, its just that its super crowded during sales and there's barely any places you can walk or try on shoes. The Nose in Sungeiwong is good, its on the bottom floor, it doesn't ever get too crowded, I think its because some people just forget about it because barely anyone goes to the bottom floor. But they have a good selection of discounted shoes when they're having a sale. And they're usually okay if you try without buying. I like the Vinnci's in Jusco Wangsa Maju, I can try without buying anyday, just because its mostly empty.
The battle is Vincci's service vs. Nose's no variety
So who wins? Both or neither...you tell me.
